Test Summary: Martin Whitmarsh
"Another productive session this week as we finished
our testing programme for the 2006 season, with Pedro and
Lewis in attendance over the two day session. Both drivers
worked through final Brazil tyre evaluation with Michelin
alongside various developments programmes for our 2007 car
the MP4-22. There have been a few red flag stoppages during
the week but that aside the clear and hot weather conditions
have allowed us to cover good mileage and we have gained some
positive intelligence about the MP4-22 package. Despite spending
some time in the garage whilst the team worked on a minor
oil leak, Pedro managed to successfully complete his scheduled
programme. Although this is the final in-season allocated
test day, the team will continue to push hard with several
straight line tests and other work focused towards 2007 in
the coming weeks. I would like to take this opportunity to
thank the test team for their hard work over the past season."
